Equiangular lines are collections of lines in Euclidean space, all passing through the origin and forming the same angle with one another. Given a fixed angle, a fundamental question is: what is the maximum number of such lines? I will present a...

Although we often introduce group theory to students using groups of symmetries, we tend to move quickly away from these intuitive representations into the realm of axioms and deductions. There are plenty of good reasons for this, not least of which...

We are extremely pleased to announce that Dr. Inwon Kim, Professor of Mathematics at UCLA, will deliver an upcoming lecture in the Hugh C. Morris Lecture Series. Dr. Kim is internationally recognized for her influential work in analysis and PDEs...

A number is called a "period" if it can be expressed as the volume of a region in Euclidean space, defined by polynomial inequalities with rational coefficients. Many famous constants, such as π, log(2) and special values of the Riemann zeta function...

Secure online communications and financial transactions depend on public key cryptography—but the methods we use today are susceptible to attack by quantum computers. When that will happen is uncertain, though estimates range from 5 to 25 years. This...

Participants will be introduced to four foundational areas of mathematics by guest lecturers during the first week and then work on inquiry based projects with the support of the lecturers and graduate teaching assistants. One of the DREAMs Institute...

Over the course of this camp, students will experience: Hands-on activities with real data using Python and R Fun, game-based learning experiences related to the Data Science field Data visualization, simulations, and problem-solving challenges Guest...
